    It reminded me, very randomly, of quote from a book about urban design and how architectural ideas are introduced and accepted by the public… or not.

    From this the “principle of the second man” can be formulated: it is the second man who determines whether the creation of the first man will be carried forward or destroyed…

    It was a golden chance and a room full of cowards let it slip.


    The book is Design of Cities by Edmund Bacon for anyone interested.
